“Carolyne was able to help me out with a last minute sit and took great care of my dog. Will use her again and greatly appreciate her. Smokey is looking forward to hanging out with her again in the future.”
“Danielle arrived on time to house sit our dog. My dog immediately warmed up to her. We were running late and Danielle stayed until we came back. She has a passion in caring for pets and we would definitely use her again.”
“Grace was absolutely amazing with my two bully breed dogs! You can tell she really cares about animals and their wellbeing. She provided many updates and photos all throughout our trip. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone we know!”

“Hannah watched our two dogs for the weekend and she was great! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures while we were away. Our dogs loved her! We will definitely be using Hannah again in the future.”
“Ashley stepped in when my pet sitter canceled a week before Christmas and she was amazing!! Maui and Kaedie were well taken care of and I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I’d happily book with Ashley the next time we go on vacation.”
“Olivia was very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting request and did two meet and greets leading up to it because my dog can be nervous around new people. They clicked well immediately and it was a huge relief to leave Sadie in great hands. Sadie had a blast with Olivia and I will definitely have Olivia watch Sadie in the future!”
About: I grew up with a Lab in my house! She lived until she was 16 and she was my best friend until the very end. I currently have two Morkies (6) so I have handled all different types of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own because after all, they are our children. I have struggled in the past with pet care, so I know first hand how difficult it can be to leave your pet while you are at work. Or just going out with friends for the night. I like to help where I can! My two Morkies are my world. They are on constant flea and tick prevention. They get let outside in the yard multiple times a day. I wipe their paws when they come in from outside and when I am at work during the day they stay nice & cool in the AC in this heat.
“Breanna was excellent! Very compassionate caring for our senior dog Maya! She put our mind at ease on very short notice to attend our daughters wedding that was out of town. Can't thank her enough!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I love walking dog and spending time with them I have no problems with taking care of the house as well when people are gone as well, including cleaning up, vacuuming, dishes, ensuring mail is collected and taking care of plants. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. When I get up in the morning, I prefer to take the doggos out first thing for a quick walk around to let them go to the bathroom. We then head back to have breakfast together. Throughout the day, I will keep an eye on them to see if they need to go out. If they are a puppy, we will go out every 2 hours quickly. Otherwise, I tend to wait until around 4 hours to do another walk around, usually as a longer walk or if weather is bad, give us a chance to play at home for a while after lunch. I work remotely so I’ll still be able to work while looking after your pupper and will be keeping a close eye on them throughout the day. We’ll do another walk/play time around 3-4 before I start working on dinner and ensure we both get fed. At around 7 or.8, I’ll have us do one last walk around to take care of business before bedtime for adult dogs. Please keep in mind I’m aware that for puppies and senior dogs that schedules may need to adjust and we can have those conversations depending on need. I am not able to take pets into my own home at this time due to restrictions on my lease. So I will be relying on the equipment that you have in your home to care for your dog. I want to make sure I am using the food that your dog eats and the treats that are your safety standards. I will keep your dog on leash while on walks at all times, and be sure to follow whatever rules you have for your animal.
“Jared "Wise Animal Guardians" was an exceptional dog whisperer and house sitter. My dog Lena is a lurcher with Strong prey drive who just happens to have a chronic acl issue. Jared made sure she was not off leash (chasing little critters in the back yard is her favorite thing) and even massaged her nightly. Sent tons if pics and communicated at all times. I was able to have piece of mind on my much needed vacation. Would highly recommend.”
“Grace is an amazing caregiver for our two beloved pets, Olivia (cat) and Shelly (dog). She treated our home with respect while house sitting. Olivia and Shelly seemed to take to her immediately and sense her "good vibes." Highly recommend, and we'll be reaching out again when in need!”
“Emily took care of our Luna for three nights and four days, at our cottage. She took her on walks and took her swimming, Luna had a great time. Emily took great care of our house and it was spotless when we returned. Luna misses her!”
“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”
“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,635 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carver walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carver maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carver choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
